It’s dead and filled with keratin this makes it water proof and tough. 2) stratum germinativum or growing layer It’s alive and replaces the dead layer as it falls off It’s bumpy to give you fingerprints for gripping. It makes hair. Has sebaceous oil glands that moisten your skin and give you zits
Dermis • • • The dermis (the skin) Living tissue contains all the blood vessels The muscles on your hair that make you shiver. All the sensory receptor feeling. All the sweat glands that make you cool
